Hi Guys, before I ask my question, let me preface with some context (posted in another thread too, but in case there are differing views)
Last year I applied for my PGWP, but before May 2015, there was a bug where CIC charged only a partial amount of the total needed (only $155 out of $255). Because of which, all of my friends who applied prior to May 2015 were stuck for a while in implied status. I finally heard back from CIC in November!! 2015 and they said please pay $100 and upload the receipt. I did exactly that and waited and after a week I get a response that my application has been refused because they didn't receive $100. After lot of back and forth with customer agents and case specific enquiries, it took over a month (Jan 2016) for the issue to be fixed. They admitted it was a technical issue on their end where they could not see that I had paid and uploaded the receipt, and subsequently issued PGWP
My question is, does this mean I have to answer YES to the question "Have you ever been refused visa or permit to Canada or any other country" Technically yes, I was, but it was an error on CIC's part which was fixed. What do I do? Say yes and wait for the Schedule A.or Say no and add a letter of explanation?
